Status of the Ral Front End Test Stand

چکیده
The Front End Test Stand (FETS) under construction at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is the UK's contribution to research into the next generation of High Power Proton Accelerators (HPPAs). HPPAs are an essential part of any future Spallation Neutron Source, Neutrino Factory, Muon Collider, Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System, Waste Transmuter etc. FETS will demonstrate a high quality, high intensity, chopped Hminus beam and is a collaboration between RAL, Imperial College and the Universtity of Warwick in the UK and the Universidad del Pais Vasco and ESS-Bilbao in Spain. This paper describes the current status and future plans of FETS.

متن کاملPerformance of the Low Energy Beam Transport at the Ral Front End Test Stand
The Front End Test Stand (FETS) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) is intended to demonstrate the early stages of acceleration (up to 3MeV) and beam chopping required for high power proton accelerators, including proton drivers for pulsed neutron spallation sources and neutrino factories. A Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), consisting of three solenoids and four drift sections, is used...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Pulsed Digital Llrf System for the Ral Front End Test Stand
Design, implementation and some practical results of the pulsed digital LLRF system (amplitude, phase and tuning loops) of the RFQ for the RAL (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory) FETS (Front End Test Stand) are presented. The design is based on a fast analog front-end for RF-baseband conversion and a model-based Virtex-4 FPGA unit for signal processing and PI regulation. Complexity of the LLRF tim...
متن کاملInitial Results from the Front End Test Stand High Performance H Ion Source at Ral
The RAL Front End Test Stand (FETS) [1] is being constructed to demonstrate a chopped H beam of up to 60 mA at 3 MeV with 50 pps and sufficiently high beam quality for future high-power proton accelerators (HPPA). High power proton accelerators with beam powers in the several megawatt range have many applications including drivers for spallation neutron sources, neutrino factories, waste transm...
